Oh brother

In case you were wondering.  Jennifer Aniston's dog died.  THAT was on my CNN roll this morning.  Seriously?

It's that TIME!

With our new home also came a pool.  And yes, we have already taken a dip this season.  Can't wait to use this baby out.

Don't be jealous of my photography skills.  It takes a very special person to be able to capture the energy and essence of James Lynn, a Tecate and a cold pool.

There has been a lot of commotion in our neighborhood during the past couple of days.  The streets have been lined with police cars, which we rarely ever see.  The Mansion on Turtle Creek, the only 5 star, 5 diamond hotel in Dallas is a block south of our house so there is often a little bustling during high-profile events or guest; but this was much more than normal.  On Gus and I's walk we were redirected to not walk next to The Mansion and all guest were bused in so as to not park in the front parking lot.  This was someone big!  I quickly called my news watchers (the parents) who thought it might be Obama because of his recent fund-raising efforts, but we later learned it was the Dalai Lama.  HA, I didn't guess that one!  SMU is offering him an honorary degree of some sorts.  Which I find incredibly hilarious.  Not to degrade SMU by any means, it is a fine university with great educators, I'm sure.  My next door neighbor is a professor and I've even had a couple of friends receive their law degrees from there.  But in my mind and many others... when you think of SMU - visions of bored little rich kids who like to dabble in drug dealing until it kills them pops into your head.  In Dallas, if you are looking for something illegal... make your way over to University Park and you most likely will find whatever it is you are looking for while enjoying some beautifully manicured lawns on your way.

I hope the Dalai Lama has had a very hospitable stay in Dallas and I'm sure The Mansion went to great lengths to serve.  Although, as my dad said... he seemed like more of a Za Za type of guy (he's just not into paying $15 for a 4 oz cocktail.  :)

I've been traveling so much lately, both for work and personal reasons.  I can't tell you how excited I am to stay on the ground for an entire week in a row.

This past weekend we all went down to College Station to celebrate the wedding of my closest cousin Josh and his bride Heather.  It was a great party and we all were very excited to be a part of such a special event.  Here are some pics.

Mr. & Mrs. Isenhour

 Groom and Ring Bearer

He was so good in church, as soon as it was over he was allowed to make as many crazy camera faces as he wanted!
